UK Horse Racing Tips: York

Albeseeingyer hasn't looked back since winning on her second appearance in a handicap and arrives chasing a remarkable six-timer. Steph Hollinshead's filly has been hit with a 9lb hike for her latest romp at Leicester, though, and may be worth taking on with ANOTHER INVESTMENT, who finished third over C&D last week and a 2lb rise might not be enough to prevent a first success of the season. Cheekpieces may eke some improvement out of Maywake, while improving Musselburgh winner Bicep can't be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Another Investment 2nd Albeseeingyer 3rd Maywake

THE LINE did plenty wrong on his debut at Ascot, but to only be beaten three lengths was an achievement in itself and the way he finished his race suggested that he will be well suited by going up in trip. The son of Caravaggio gets the vote ahead of Ticktyboo, who didn't get the clearest of runs on his introduction over C&D. Batal Zabeel is interesting for a local stable that has had first-time-out winners here before.
Prediction : 1st The Line 2nd Ticktyboo 3rd Batal Zabeel

Korker is an obvious contender after a solid second at the Dante meeting, but he has an added 3lb now and will need to start better. FINE WINE tried making all before weakening over a furlong further at Newcastle and if he can repeat that from a good draw, he may take some catching. Copper Knight loves it here and is hard to ignore, while Music Society deserves another win after an unlucky second at Thirsk.
Prediction : 1st Fine Wine 2nd Korker 3rd Copper Knight

Mimikyu will be difficult to beat if running to anywhere near the level that saw her land the Park Hill at Doncaster last September, but a chance is taken on SEA FLAWLESS. The daughter of Sea The Stars, a full-sister to the talented Al Aasy, was a comfortable winner at Beverley last month. It's interesting that William Haggas wastes no time pitching her in at Group level, and a further step up in trip should aid her cause. River Of Stars can chase them home.
Prediction : 1st Sea Flawless 2nd Mimikyu 3rd River Of Stars

A typically competitive Knavesmire handicap might suit the lightly-raced VERDANSK, whose previous form has a solid feel to it and this son of No Nay Never remains unexposed on only his second start in a handicap. He was a good third at Newmarket on his reappearance and this slightly easier level could work in his favour. Recent Ayr winner Tellus is holding her form and can go well again, despite running off 4lb higher, while Five Towns, Starnberg and River Usk also warrant consideration.
Prediction : 1st Verdansk 2nd Tellus 3rd Five Towns

A case can be made for several of these but a chance is taken one SCEPTIC, a 260,000gns yearling who makes his handicap debut following a disappointing run in a conditions stakes at Goodwood earlier this month. He is a half-brother to Listed-placed Magical Journey and mile winner New York Angel, so the Lingfield maiden winner looks capable of bouncing back for powerful connections. Maximilian Caesar bolted up over this trip at Doncaster most recently and is feared off 9lb higher, while Dubai Jemila and Saxon King add further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Sceptic 2nd Maximilian Caesar 3rd Dubai Jemila

Shining Blue is the highest rated of these and he enjoyed a decent winter in Dubai, but he may be in the grasp of the handicapper now and the nod goes to fellow Godolphin-owned four-year-old OPEN MIND. Saeed bin Suroor's charge was a good second of 16 in a valuable 6f handicap when last seen at Meydan in February and, rated just 2lb higher today, he looks the most likely to score here. The in-form Yorkshire could give him the most to think.
Prediction : 1st Open Mind 2nd Yorkshire 3rd Shining Blue
